Best Buy Fiscal Year 2022 ESG Report | 12 Sustainable operations . Our current operational carbon reduction at the end of calendar year 2021 is 62% . Many projects scaled across our stores contribute to the reduction, including additional investments in LED lighting, process controls and high efficiency HVAC systems. The grid is also getting cleaner, which is something we actively advocate for with investor-owned utilities and policy makers. We continue to be commended as a leader in addressing climate change. For the fifth consecutive year, CDP, the global authority on climate change, named Best Buy to its prestigious Climate A List. The list recognizes our actions to cut emissions, mitigate climate risks and advance a low-carbon economy. Out of the 13,000 respondents, this puts us among the top 2% of all companies participating in CDP’s climate change program. (See the appendix for further data.) We know that meaningful climate action is a collaborative effort and leading companies must come together to solve this difficult challenge. In FY22, to foster this approach, we became a founding member of the Breakthroughs 2030: Retail campaign, the United Nations Climate Change Race to Zero initiative that aims to accelerate climate action within the retail industry. The pledge encourages global, regional and national retailers to take climate action together through the setting of science-based targets and committing to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
